[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 33723, member: 320"] I've been pushing for Centaur for a while around the forum so here's another plug for it. Saturday, I went to the White Rose Gameroom Show in York, Pa. It's one of those kind of shows where you pay a fee to get in and everything's on free play with most of the games being for sale as well. While it does encompass anything that's game room related it's mostly focused on pinball. Anyway, they also have a small outside area which is basically a "flea market." You know, stuff that may or may not be complete, work, etc. Most of the pins outside are usually EM's with some lesser known early SS's. Not much that interests me. But, this time, I see a Centaur all wrapped up on a hand truck. I'm thinking "Ah, it's probably sold already." Nonetheless, I figured I'd ask. So I find the guy whose got it and ask him if it's for sale. He tells me "Yea, I just picked it up. Two thousand." Now this table is not in mint condition. From the little I could see its got the usual fading of the white, paint touch up and needs, at least, a complete shop job. Also, I think Wolverine might have had a bad game and took his claws across the side of the cabinet. While I try and hold back the "you got to be f*cking kidding me?" I ask the guy if it works. He tells me that he believes it works. So, I tell him "thank you" and walk away. I come back about 30 minutes later and, now, it has a sign on it saying "Not for sale." It's sitting at the FRONT of this guy's stand with a "not for sale" sign on it. So, either it was sold (not likely) or, maybe, someone told him what I was thinking. Now, don't get me wrong. Around here, Centaur is hard to come by and fetches more than most of its contemporaries from the same era. If it was complete, the rest of the playfield wasn't a mess and the boards weren't a pile of hacks, I'd give a grand for it. That's probably what he paid for it though. I don't know what Centaur brings in other places but in the northeastern states it's pricey. That goes for Fathom too. Here's hoping that FarSight brings them to TPA so I don't have to keep longing after them. [/QUOTE]
